[quote=Anonymous]We have a high energy lab puppy (we knew what we were getting into), anyway, we do 2 long walks a day plus a shorter lunch walk. We play fetch in the house with chuckit indoor balls. The main thing we do when the dog starts getting into things because of boredom is training drills (they only take a few minutes, but thinking also wears dogs out), so we get some small training treats (or plain cheerios) and run through obedience commands (sit, down, stay, leave it, shake, shake with other paw, etc.) and that has helped a lot because it reminds the dog that you are in charge, but also wears them out mentally. You have to ramp up the difficulty of the commands periodically, or mix up the order, but it helps.[/quote]
